I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. I live pretty close but I rarely go to Amherst because it gets very busy when the colleges are in session. But this past weekend we had some houseguests and needed to find a restaurant that had vegan options and gluten free options. Fresh Side had something for everyone and our waitress was super friendly and brought over a treat that was both gluten free and vegan for us all to try. I had some delicious vegetable fried rice and my partner enjoyed his Pho with chicken instead of beef. I also got delicious green tea made with roasted rice. Our guests were happy with their food as well. I will definitely keep Fresh Side in mind when we are wanting some more pan Asian foods.

I did enjoy this place. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. The police was clean and well-lit. The menu was surprisingly diverse and large. Service was awesome with friendly Happy People serving you. My big complaint was it seems to be quite expensive. Especially for a college town. The coffee was pretty good! And they have a gluten-free selection that wasn't awesome but wasn't bad either.

I haven't been to this spot since it was Pinocchio's, so it has been a while. At Johnny's we had great food. They were very accommodating to our group's food allergies and we were pleased to see gluten-free pasta options or alternatives. We'll be back!

The gluten free pizza is so good! I haven’t been able to find any other local pizza places that can even compare. I also love the salads, they’re always super fresh and delicious!

I love this Ginger Garden because I am gluten-free (allergic to wheat) and this is the only place around that can adjust their menu making for my allergy. The food is great, service friendly. However, the last time I ordered, I definitely got sick from wheat. I didn't call back to confirm the staff wrote down my allergy that I very clearly told them of. So I don't know if this was a clerical error in order taking, or if there was a mistake in the kitchen. Food is great but if you are gluten free, be very clear and follow up to confirm. Don't take yes as an answer because I did and I was definitely poisoned and unable to eat my food last time I went. I am still giving them a 5 stars because they have been great every other time. But I will be taking my own advice and making every dish be double checked with the kitchen to make sure it is gluten free. I want to continue loving this place.
